Bleach: Starting with Marrying Retsu Unohana

Zaraki looked at Araki, who had lifted him up, and instinctively tried to resist. Unfortunately, Araki's strength was overwhelming, giving Zaraki no chance to fight back. At this point, Zaraki could only ask Araki a question: what was their destination?

"Go to a place where you can fully unleash your potential!"

After Araki finished speaking, he and Zaraki immediately disappeared from the spot.

The ancestral home of the Shiba family, one of the 'Five Great Noble Families'...

Shiba, the current head of the family, has already prepared everything for Araki with unparalleled skill; it's simply a matter of practice makes perfect!

"Let's go~"

Because he had visited so often, Araki had become quite familiar with the Shiba family. Before taking Zaraki to the Spirit King Palace using the 'Heavenly Pillar Carriage,' he made sure to wave to the head of the Shiba family as a greeting.

"Bye~"

After waving his hand at Araki, Shiba, the head of the household, picked up the torch.

"boom!"

As Shiba used his torch to ignite the Shiba Cannon, the 'Heavenly Pillar Chariot' roared into the sky with a deafening roar.

"What's going on?!"

Young Zaraki stood inside the 'Heavenly Pillar Carriage', a hint of panic flashing across his face. It was the first time he had ever flown to such a high place.

"Next, I'm going to take you to the highest point in the Soul Society and even the entire Three Realms!"

Araki looked at Zaraki, whose face was filled with shock, and spoke softly.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Zaraki's expression flickered with confusion.

Tens of minutes later...

After the 'Heavenly Pillar Carriage' passed through a full 72 barriers and successfully landed on the 'Spirit King's Path' with the authorization of Zaraki, Zaraki had been vomiting the whole way, carrying the trash can that Araki had prepared for him in advance.

"Is this not enough? How can we become the strongest?!"

Araki looked at the good-for-nothing Zaraki and said with a chuckle.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zaraki wiped his mouth with a rag and then pointed at Araki's face for a long time without saying a word.

"Let's go~"

Araki didn't give Zaraki a chance to speak, kicking him from inside the 'Heavenly Pillar Carriage' onto the 'Spirit King's Path'.

"Then, 'Monk,' 'Wang Yue,' and 'Tian Shi Lang,' this child is entrusted to you."

After throwing Zaraki into the 'Spirit King Palace', Araki greeted the three members of the 'Hyōshūbu', 'Oetsu', and 'Tenjirō' who were already waiting for everyone on the 'Omotesandō', and then prepared to use the 'Tenjūn Rin' to return.

"Brother Araki, this is the 'Spirit King Palace,' the place where the 'Spirit King' resides. You can't always treat this place like a 'kindergarten'!"

Hyosube sighed helplessly as he looked at Zaraki, who had been thrown into the 'Spirit King Palace' by Araki.

Ever since Hyosube was outmaneuvered by Araki, he gave up on playing hide-and-seek with Araki and turned around to acknowledge Araki as his elder brother. Anyway, Hyosube had many elder brothers in his life, and in the end, he was the only one who had the last laugh...

This time, however, Hyōjubu had a strange premonition that he might have to be a subordinate for the rest of his life.

No difference~

As Araki spoke, he directly rode the 'Heavenly Pillar Chariot' and plummeted towards the ground.

"Eh……"

Hyosugu watched Araki leave, and wanted to say something, but as he watched Araki rapidly descending through the clouds and barriers, he could only keep quiet.

"That's basically the idea..."

"Then, young man, welcome to the 'Spirit King Palace'! We are members of the 'Zero Squad,' the 'Royal Special Agents' directly under the 'Spirit King's' command!"

After watching Araki leave, Hyosube first scratched his cheek helplessly, then turned to look at Zaraki and spoke.

"'Zero Division'? How are you compared to the 'Gotei 13'?"

After hearing Hyosube's words, Zaraki asked a question.

"'Gotei 13'? Don't compare such things to us 'Royal Secret Service'! Although we 'Zero Squad' members are few in number, our combat strength is greater than the total of the entire '13 Squads'!"

Having successfully transformed his physical body into the 'King Key' and used the 'Spirit King's Power' to create his own unique Kirinji Tenjirou, carrying his Zanpakuto, arrogantly addressed Zaraki.

Without a doubt, Kirinji no longer considered himself a member of the 'Thirteenth Division', but rather a 'royal agent' of the 'Zero Division'...

"The Zero Division's combat power is greater than the combined strength of the Thirteen Divisions?!"

Upon hearing Kirinji's words, Zaraki's pupils dilated sharply. Kirinji's words were like a skylight opening for him, allowing this 'frog in a well' to finally see the vastness of the sky…

"So, does that mean the 'Zero Squad's' combat strength is also above Araki's?!"

The young Zaraki continued to inquire about Kirinji Temple.

"Hahaha……"

Kirinji laughed immediately after hearing what the boy, Zaraki, said.

"Hahaha……"

At the same time, Wang Yue and the monks standing behind Qilin Temple also smiled.

After the three of them laughed loudly for a while, they almost simultaneously shut their mouths and then stared at Genki with strange looks in their eyes.

"Forehead……"

This put immense pressure on the young Zaraki.

"It's impossible to surpass Araki in combat strength!"

At this moment, the monk who had been silent spoke up.

"Why?!"

Genki looked at the monk and asked, puzzled.

"Why else could it be? Because Araki is also a member of the Zero Division..."

At this moment, 'Knife God' Wang Yue took over from the monk and continued his sermon.

"Moreover, Araki is the strongest one in our 'Zero Squad'!"

After Wang Yue finished speaking, Qilin Temple added more.

"The Zero Division's fighting strength is above the Thirteenth Division! And Araki's fighting strength alone is even above our Zero Division!"

Just as Zaraki was unable to understand what everyone was saying, the monk smiled and explained to Zaraki.

At this moment, the 'monk's' kind expression really gave him the look of an enlightened high monk.

"Araki...is he really that strong?!"

Upon hearing this, Zaraki's pupils dilated sharply.

"Araki's power far exceeds your imagination!"

Seeing Gengmu's shocked expression, the 'monk' smiled slightly.

Chapter 105 This 'Spirit King Palace' will eventually belong to Araki!

"Once you become a member of the Zero Division, your power will be blessed by His Majesty the Soul King, and your strength will be able to increase without limit, to a level that you could not even imagine when you were in the Thirteenth Division!"

"So much so that when we members of the 'Zero Squad' go to the lower realms to carry out missions, we have to be extremely careful every day, for fear that we might accidentally destroy the world! Zaraki, can you imagine living in a world made entirely of paper?!"

With a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, Kirinji faced the young boy, Zaraki, and spoke calmly.

"A world made entirely of paper?"

Upon hearing this, Zaraki recalled his posture after his Shikai release, the feeling that he could cleave the entire Seireitei in two simply by swinging his sword with all his might.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's that feeling where if you exert even a little force, it feels like everything around you will be shattered! But our 'Zero Squad' isn't some insignificant entity like the 'Seireitei'! It's on the 'world' level!"

"The members of our 'Zero Squad' will have a huge impact on the entire 'Soul World' and even the 'Hueco Mundo' of the 'Human World' just by performing the 'Bankai' of their Zanpakuto!"

"So, unless absolutely necessary, our power is sealed. Only when only one member of the 'Zero Squad' remains can this seal be broken and we unleash our full power! At least, that was our original plan at the very beginning..."

At this moment, 'Sword God' Wang Yue took over Qilin Temple's words and continued his sermon.

What do you mean by "that's how it was originally designed"?

Gengmu was completely confused.

"But after Araki arrived, this situation changed dramatically. The strength of both the 'Spirit King Palace' and the 'Soul Society' is now incomparable to what it used to be!"

“If it were the old Soul Society, once your Zanpakuto reached the level of Ryujin Jakka, you couldn’t easily use Bankai! The slightest mistake could lead to the destruction of the Soul Society…”

"But now, even though Yamamoto Shigekuni has performed Bankai multiple times within the Seireitei over the years, he has still failed to affect the balance of the Soul Society. The three worlds have quietly changed at this moment..."

At this moment, the monk's gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier and look at the Three Realms, as if he had taken in all the phenomena of the world.

"..."

After listening to what everyone said, Zaraki fell silent.

After a long silence, Zaraki looked at the crowd before him and asked, "What does this have to do with my cultivation?!"

"I heard from Araki that you're afraid of becoming too strong, to the point that no one in the world can fight you anymore, which is why you don't dare to learn Bankai, right?!"

"We are simply stating a fact: you are weak, even if you master 'Bankai' you are still weak! You have just transformed from an ant that was originally powerless and could be trampled on into an ant that has grown wings and can gain a little more freedom."

The monk looked at Gengmu and said with a smile.

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Zaraki frowned deeply.

Before Gengmu could say anything more, the 'monk' looked at the 'Sword God' Wang Yue beside him and smiled, "Then Wang Yue, this guy is yours for now~"

"Okay~"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue struck a flamboyant pose in front of Gengmu.

"My name is Nimaiya Wang Yue..."

"Remember! It's not ten, nine, eight, seven... it's two pieces of Wang Yue!"

As Wang Yue spoke, she pointed to the sky, and immediately a box containing liquid silicone landed behind her.
